The group eventually made it to the clearing where the MagnaSpider prison was located. Four MagnaSpiders stood guard near the entrance in the ground. Watching from the trees, the team wondered how they were going to get past this new security.
"How are we going to get into this prison place with those freaks guarding it?" questioned Grunkle Stan, whispering so the Spiders would not hear.
"Yeah," whispered Dipper, "Are you Elkron going to do something about it?"
The three Elkron did not respond. They clearly already had a plan in mind, being more fast thinking than the 6 Humans. Hylaeocervopus gestured his hand to Sylvouranis and Dryosaicha with a few flicks of his humanoid fingers. The Griffin understood the signs perfectly and flew straight up, above the trees, and soared round the clearing of the prison. It let out a call that sounded like a screechy teakettle whistle, getting the four guard Spiders' attention. While the Dog-sized Arachnids were temporarily distracted, the three Elkron fired their arrows right at them, the impact of the arrows sending the 4 MagnaSpiders tumbling into woods on the other side of the clearing, their dead bodies then being consumed by some Red Foxes.
"That was awesome!" said Wendy, liking the distraction technique that was just performed.
"Now we enter the catacombs of the prison," announced Hylaeocervopus.
"Uuhh...I think I might stay out here," said Candy nervously, "Those Spiders are just too creepy for me!"
"And I, uh, think I might throw out my back if I go down into that dark, creepy place," added Stan.
"Very well," said Hylaeocervopus, understandingly, "You two will guard the entrance if any MagnaSpiders were to attack."
"And keep your threat-fighters with you," added Sylvouranis, "As the one who designed the more updated look of the weapons, I entrust you to keep them intact."
"I guess I could use some time to keep watch. How about you?" said Stan to Candy.
"Oh, yes, I will help in protection," responded Candy, nodding. The Griffin was also there to assist in the guarding.
As soon as the three Elkron, Dipper, Mabel, Wendy and Soos had descended into the now cave-like chamber (looking like this now because of the MagnaSpiders moving boulders and digging with their inner strength), Soos felt nervous. "Uhh...Hylaeo-dude? This doesn't really feel safe."
"Danger is a reality, but fear is an option," replied Hylaeocervopus with slight annoyance, "It will all be over soon."
"He still has a bit of a grudge towards Humans," whispered Sylvouranis to the four Humans, "But he will do whatever it takes to save this land and even the world."
The tunnel that they walked through was dark and dreary, dimly lit by bioluminescent mold on the ceiling. Holes seen in the walls, large enough for Mabel or Dipper to fit into, were obviously the places where the great Spiders had been dormant for all those centuries until now.
Wendy continued to admire how "cool" her threat-fighter looked. Soos stayed close to her in desperation for the protection of someone he knew that was braver than him. Hylaeocervopus seldom spoke, mostly fixing his eyes in the direction of where he walking and leading the group. Mabel tapped Dipper on the shoulder briefly to get his attention. "Look at that," she whispered to her brother.
What Mabel was pointing out to Dipper was the Dryosaicha, the caring peacekeeper Elkron female, was looking rather doubtful. Her brother, Sylvouranis, the inventive male Elkron asked her what was wrong, comforting her with a pat on the back.
"I feel very unsure about doing this," Dryosaicha replied, "I mean, the MagnaSpiders are living things, and it seems cruel to be trying to fight them off like this, seeking out their spawning pool to destroy."
"But don't you remember?" said Sylvouranis, "They are magical fusions of the essence of several true Spider species. They are, in truth, abominations."
"Yes...but I still feel cautious about it all," sighed Dryosaicha.
"I think I know how to help you. Strange-feeling sibling embrace?" offered Sylvouranis, opening up his arms.
"Very well," replied Dryosaicha with a smile. The two then hugged for about 2 seconds as a way of reassurance with the power of a family bond.
"Doesn't that remind you of us, Dipper?" asked Mabel mischievously.
"I guess," answered Dipper, a little bewildered by this, "It's like the times we have each other's backs and our awkward sibling hugs."
"Halt!" barked out Hylaeocervopus, but not loud enough to echo across the whole cavernous tunnel. There, right before the group, was a large room with a small, crater-like pool in the very center, filled with bubbling green liquid.
"We are here," said Hylaeocervopus slowly, "This is the Chamber of Spawning. And that is the MagnaSpider spawning pool, the key to the great numbers of those great Arachnids. Now we must destroy it."
